But that, according to JPJ senior enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan, does not exempt them from the law.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“It does not matter how rarely the car is used. If it’s on the road, it must be properly taxed and insured,” he said.

As part of its ongoing enforcement drive under Op Luxury, the department is closely monitoring traffic using both marked and unmarked vehicles.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/06/ops-luxury-jpj-seizes-101-luxury-vehicles" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> Officers will not hesitate to seize any vehicle caught driving illegally.</a><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Between July 30 and August 1, a total of 53 luxury cars were impounded.

“That assumption is false and against the law. We know who the owners are. If the cars appear on public roads, we will act immediately,” he added. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">JPJ is also calling on the public to report similar violations. Complaints can be submitted through the MyJPJ app or by emailing the department directly (aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my) with complete details.

JPJ flags over 1,000 luxury cars, including Ferraris and Lambos, for missing road tax and insurance.

Since resuming operations after a 28-month suspension, it has faced multiple interruptions, drawing backlash from commuters and public figures alike.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">MCA Youth secretary-general Saw Yee Fung didn’t mince words, urging the transport ministry to form a dedicated task force to uncover what’s really going on. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“It’s disappointing and unacceptable,” she said, pointing to repeated issues in just one month.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Earlier reports highlighted similar problems, including jammed doors to unexpected shutdowns. On July 4, a blogger noted the trains weren’t running again, with passengers rerouted via buses. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">MAHB later explained that a faulty drainage pump during heavy rain had caused flooding, triggering the train’s safety shutdown system.

Transport Minister Loke responded, clarifying that the rain-related glitch had nothing to do with the new train itself. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“It was a failure in the airport’s older infrastructure. Once water levels rose beyond the safety limit, the system did exactly what it was designed to do, which is stop,” he said.Still, for passengers, the growing list of excuses is wearing thin. With trust in the system running low, many are asking the same question. Was the Aerotrain truly ready to return?

KLIA’s Aerotrain stalled for 15 minutes due to a door glitch, prompting an apology and public frustration.

This, he said, will ensure that aid is channelled only to those who truly qualify while reducing leakages and errors.The use of centralised, updated data is part of the government’s wider effort to enhance service delivery and policy targeting. According to the minister, PADU’s capabilities also allow for the development of tailored intervention programmes to better serve specific demographic groups. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18814/15807486/conversions/PADU-(20)-full_normal-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15807486" alt="PADU-(20)-full_normal.jpg"> To date, 204 government agencies are actively contributing data to PADU. A formal guideline on data sharing was issued on Feb 25, followed by a series of engagement sessions from Feb to June with federal ministries, agencies, state governments and local councils.Nine applications from various agencies to access and use PADU data have so far been approved, with the goal of strengthening policy execution and digital innovation in public services. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18814/15807487/conversions/Screenshot-2025-07-07-144508-full_normal-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15807487" alt="Screenshot-2025-07-07-144508-full_normal.jpg"> This announcement comes despite earlier claims by former <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/05/resignation-chaos-padu-govt-ev-transition-in-limbo" target="_blank">Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli</a> on the MediaRakyat podcast that internal disagreements had led to <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/07/rafizi-padu-ready-but-overlooked-for-ron95-subsidy-rationalisation" target="_blank">PADU being sidelined</a> for RON95 subsidy rationalisation.&nbsp;Rafizi, who was instrumental in PADU’s rollout, had previously said that the platform was fully ready but was overlooked in favour of other mechanisms.Amir Hamzah’s latest statement, however, suggests a renewed commitment to leverage PADU’s capabilities for the RON95 subsidy roll-out moving forward.

She said the ministry is aware of the incident, which gained traction on social media yesterday, and a full investigation is underway. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18810/15805181/conversions/526666804_778441811365167_5203074233672969270_n-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15805181" alt="526666804_778441811365167_5203074233672969270_n.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18810/15805182/conversions/527976976_778441618031853_5241891553789119123_n-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15805182" alt="527976976_778441618031853_5241891553789119123_n.jpg"> The post, which has been widely circulated online, appears to highlight the driver of the vehicle first refueling the car before filling a large plastic container with <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/07/ron95-at-rm199-for-malaysians-rm250-for-foreigners-including-sporeans" target="_blank">subsidised RON95 petrol</a>.

The ban has been in effect since August 2010 and is intended to prevent abuse of government fuel subsidies. RON95 is priced at RM2.05 per litre in Malaysia, significantly lower than the retail price in Singapore, which is about RM9.48 per litre. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18810/15805191/conversions/490314852_1216318193828466_1645162767942101592_n-full_normal.jpg" data-media-id="15805191" alt="490314852_1216318193828466_1645162767942101592_n.jpg" style="width: 50%;"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18810/15805193/conversions/476164047_2255678561474066_2409044106840707220_n-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15805193" alt="476164047_2255678561474066_2409044106840707220_n.jpg"> “If the investigation confirms a violation, firm <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/01/pdam-seeks-fines-for-foreign-vehicles-that-pump-ron95" target="_blank">action will be taken against</a> all involved parties, including the station operator, if found to be negligent or complicit,” she said.
